Moscow orders new restrictions as Covid-19 infections soar in the city

MOSCOW — Moscow's mayor on Saturday ordered a week off for some workplaces and imposed restrictions on many businesses to fight coronavirus infections that have more than doubled in the past week.

The national coronavirus task force reported 6,701 new confirmed cases in Moscow, compared with 2,936 on June 6. Nationally, the daily tally has spiked by nearly half over the past week, to 13,510.

After several weeks of lockdown as the pandemic spread in the spring of 2020, the Russian capital eased restrictions and did not reimpose any during subsequent case increases. But because of the recent sharp rise, “it is impossible not to react to such a situation,” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.

He ordered enterprises that do not normally work on weekends to remain closed for the next week while continuing to pay employees. Food courts and children's play areas in shopping centers also are to close for a week beginning Sunday, and restaurants and bars must limit their service to takeout from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Earlier in the week, city authorities said enforcement of mask- and glove-wearing requirements on mass transit, in stores and in other public places would be strengthened and that violators could face fines of up to 5,000 rubles ($70).

Although Russia was the first country to deploy a coronavirus vaccine, its use has been relatively low; many Russians are reluctant to get vaccinated.

President Vladimir Putin on Saturday said 18 million Russians have received the vaccine — about 12% of the population.

Moscow offers free cars to spur residents to get Sputnik vaccine

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Moscow will give away cars in a prize draw for residents who get the COVID-19 shot in an effort to speed up the slow rate of vaccinations, its mayor said on Sunday, as officials brought in curbs to halt a surge in coronavirus cases.

The Russian capital reported 7,704 new infections on Sunday, the most in a single day since Dec. 24. Authorities confirmed 14,723 cases nationwide, the largest one-day total since Feb. 13.

Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that anyone over 18 who receives the first of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine from June 14 until July 11 would now be automatically entered into a draw to win a car.

He said five cars worth 1 million roubles ($13,900) each would be given away every week.

Sobyanin has publicly lamented how few residents have chosen to get the vaccine. He gave no new figures on Sunday for how many have had the shot, but said on May 21 that 1.3 million out of a population of more than 12 million had received one dose.

Russia began rolling out its Sputnik V shot in December and it was rapidly opened up to everyone in Moscow.

You would think with such control over the media by the government and a glowing endorsement by the Lancet that the Russian people would have gladly taken the Sputnik jab.

Putin is no Catherine the Great, I guess. She inoculated herself and her children, to increase confidence among Russians. meanwhile Putin held off forever, made it private, and I think he didn’t even say which one he got.

It's like a weird Russian venn diagram where one circle believes in Western medical journals like the Lancet that did the peer review, the other circle trusts the Russian government to actually make a decent medical product, and only 12% overlapses in the middle.

Such a shame too, since this B-tier vaccine is clearly superior to the Chinese offering. If Putin didn't try to push it out well before their 3rd phase trial in order to claim his "first to market", more Russians might be incline to take it.

It sounds ridiculous considering that in the end it is a good vaccine but people here in America are calling our vaccines “rushed” so I at least get it
 
Russia mandates vaccinations for some as virus cases surge
By DARIA LITVINOVA | June 25, 2021

​


MOSCOW (AP) — They tried grocery giveaways and lotteries for new cars and apartments. But an ambitious plan of vaccinating 30 million Russians by mid-June still has fallen short by a third.

So now, many regional governments across the vast country are obligating some workers to get vaccinated and requiring the shots to enter certain businesses, like restaurants.

As many Western countries lift coronavirus restrictions and plan a return to normal life after mass vaccinations, Russia is battling a surge of infections — even though it was the first in the world to authorize a vaccine and among the first to start administering it in December.

Daily new cases have grown from about 9,000 in early June to about 17,000 on June 18 and over 20,000 on Thursday and Friday.

Officials have blamed Russians’ lax attitude toward taking necessary precautions and the growing prevalence of more infectious variants. But perhaps the biggest factor is the lack of vaccinations.

Over 21 million people, or about 14% of the population of 146 million, have received at least one shot as of Friday. According to figures from earlier this week, only 16.7 million, or about 11%, have been fully vaccinated.

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said only 0.5% of those who had gotten both doses have contracted COVID-19.

Experts say those numbers are due to several factors, including the public’s wariness of the rushed approval and rollout of the Sputnik V vaccine; an official narrative that Russia had tamed its outbreak; criticism on state TV of other vaccines as dangerous; and a weak promotional campaign that included incentives such as consumer giveaways.

In light of the surge, 18 Russian regions — from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the remote far-eastern region of Sakhalin — made vaccinations mandatory this month for employees in certain sectors, such as government offices, retail, health care, education, restaurants and other service industries.

Moscow authorities said companies should suspend without pay employees unwilling to get vaccinated, and they threatened to temporarily halt operations of businesses that don’t meet the goal of having 60% of staff get at least one shot by July 15 and both shots by Aug. 15.

As of Monday, all Moscow restaurants, cafes and bars will admit only customers who have been vaccinated, have recovered from COVID-19 in the past six months, or can provide a negative coronavirus test from the previous 72 hours. City officials also limited most elective hospital care to those who are fully vaccinated or can provide tests showing they have antibodies to fight the infection.

The moves seem to be an act of desperation by authorities.

“They backed themselves into a corner, they have no choice now,” said Judy Twigg, a political science professor specializing in global health at Virginia Commonwealth University.

“They overhyped this vaccine so that people didn’t trust it. Then they took a series of measures that were clearly attempted to make it seem as though the government had everything under control, the pandemic was no big deal. … And now they’re in this situation, not surprisingly, where low vaccination rates have left an opening for the delta variant to come in,” she said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted Friday there were no mandatory vaccinations and “no one is making” Russians get shots. Earlier this week, Peskov explained that those required to get vaccinated because of their line of work can refuse it and seek a different job.

The governor of the southern region of Krasnodar, home to the Black Sea resort of Sochi, said hotels and sanitariums will only accommodate vacationers with a negative coronavirus test or a vaccination certificate starting July 1. As of Aug. 1, only vaccinated individuals will be admitted.

Russia’s Association of Tour Operators has since reported “a flood of requests” to cancel bookings in the usually popular destination.

The mandates have drawn mixed responses, with some saying they are welcome if they prevent closures of businesses, while other say it’s unclear how employers can persuade those who don’t want the shots.

“Most restaurateurs believe that vaccination is necessary,” said Sergei Mironov, founder of a restaurant chain and vice president of the Federation of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers. “But it is necessary to create (the right) conditions for the vaccination (drive).”

“There are too many rumors, and even doctors say different things,” and convincing younger employees to get vaccinated is especially difficult, he said.

Tatyana Moskalkova, the government’s human rights commissioner, said the unvaccinated have cited discrimination by employers, with threats of dismissal or withholding bonuses.

At a TV awards ceremony Tuesday, popular actor Yegor Beroyev wore a yellow star akin to those worn by Jews under the Nazis in World War II, and he spoke of “waking up in a world where (COVID-19 vaccination) became an identification mark of whether you are a citizen, … will you be able to visit institutions and events, will you enjoy all the benefits and rights.”

As proof of vaccination for entering a restaurant, customers must visit a government website and get a QR code, a digital pattern designed to be read by a scanner.

Restaurant owners won concessions Thursday when Moscow agreed the QR codes aren’t needed for the next two weeks at establishments with outdoor terraces, and underage customers won’t have to provide documentation if accompanied by their parents.

Still, the situation for many restaurants “is hard and will be harder by the day,” Mironov said.

In Moscow, online searches for fake inoculation documents increased shortly after the mayor announced mandatory vaccinations, social anthropologist Alexandra Arkhipova told an online lecture on vaccine hesitancy.

Police quickly cracked down, launching 24 criminal cases last week against sellers of fake vaccination certificates. Still, several accounts offering the bogus documents could be found easily on the Telegram messaging app this week.

The number of such offers has grown about 19% every month since March, said Evgeny Egorov, digital risk protection analyst at Group-IB, a Singapore-based cybersecurity company. In mid-June, Group-IB found at least 90 active offers, he said.

The independent pollster Levada Center said polls show about 60% of Russians are unwilling to get vaccinated.

Levada director and sociologist Denis Volkov said the vaccination mandates could change the minds of many because it’s a clear signal from the government that the shots are necessary.

“I often hear (from respondents) that they wouldn’t do it, are afraid and so on, but if there are restrictions, and it is required for travel, state services, or at work, then yes,” Volkov said.

It could be starting to change attitudes. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said the average vaccination rate across Russia has almost doubled in the past week, and long lines have been seen at pop-up vaccination clinics in Moscow shopping malls.

Murashko, the health minister, said Sputnik V, Russia’s most widely used vaccine out of four domestically developed shots, has been cleared for pregnant women, a group previously ineligible for vaccination. He cited “positive” study results but didn’t provide the data.

russians are less into conspiracy against the vaccine more just that there is a ´naturalist 'approach that is common with many Russians and also that there is some distrust or reason to ask why they must inject themselves. For decades under Soviet rule you were told what to do and now people are relatively free in Russia so the mentality is why be ´´forced´´ or guilted into it.

In the US we have actual conspiracy theorist that are a HUGE % of our population

What's the percentage required for a solid grade of "B" in your school system?

What do you believe is Sputnik V's confirmed real-world efficacy against each of the new variants of concern, from Alpha to Delta?

For the record, it's widely known in the West that AZ gets a big fat "F" in South Africa, so your assertion is bullshit right off the gate, comrade.

In the late Lanclet I saw 92% effiency rate. I saw higher from Russian sources (which people say is biased)

When I google it over 90% is common for the Russian. At worst I saw a claim of 89% all of that is an "A"

Variants my dude.

B is still an excellent score.
 
Do you ever get exhausted constantly living in this doom and gloom covid content world you've decided to Inject yourself into ? Serious question . You have to be getting severely depressed from this
 
The thing is, your average person does not read Lancet.
But.
Our government was lying to us for the last 20 years about everything.
They lied about the vaccine too. They hide the facts about side effects and deaths, and release new data that contradicts previous every couple of days.
The vaccine is ok, it seems, but they try to make it look like the perfect vaccine with 99,9% efficiency and no possible effects whatsoever, and such vaccine does not exist.
They made a recommendation for pregnant women to get vaccinated after testing it on 21 (!) people.
People simply dont trust a word coming from officials' mouths.
Also, the mayor of Moscow, where the situation is the most drastic, is an incompetent idiot, which also does not help.
 
Is anyone gonna ask the question of why this is the only respiratory virus ever to be circulating at such high levels during summer?

Especially considering it basically disappeared last summer. June-August in Europe was normal life last year, with no vaccinations and no mask mandates, yet this summer (with millions and millions of people vaccinated) we somehow seem to be worse off than we were 12months ago.......this is all a bit fishy, to me.
